As a consumer, it’s on our instinct to look for ways where we can stretch our budget. As much as we can squeeze in our spending, we’d do it in a blink of an eye. Usually, we save money for rainy season. Some, they save their money for something that they want to buy that they can’t afford in one earning. So it’s only essential to save money so that we have allowance on spending for necessity or luxury. Regardless if we save to be able to buy a high price tag gadget or something more important like tuition, on our daily or regular spending we’ll make sure that we only buy items we needed on stores that offers the most affordable price.

Online shopping actually is one good example on how anyone can save more. With online shopping, they can actually save money on their transportation as compared to offline shopping on a traditional mall; we usually spend extra for travel expense. Not to mention the time we spent on restaurants in the malls. Traditionally, after a long day of shopping, we eat of course. But when compared to online shopping, where not swayed to eat at restaurants since you can do this at your vey home. Also, travel expense won’t be a problem since you will only need an Internet capable device with decent Internet connections and you’re set to go.

Another saving that people can get from online shopping are the promos and discounts that online shopping stores offer on their online shopping malls. It’s only practical for them to flash promos and discounts to entice local online Internet users to buy from them rather than to go to the traditional malls. They needed to captivate them immediately and to that certain advantages should be established to their visitors. By allowing the online users that they can save more if they buy from online stores, will immediately have them shopping on their website without them thinking it over.

Websites like Lazada Philippines thrive on this kind of industry. They were one of the first who introduced “Cash on Delivery” in our country. This actually made online shopping a little bit easier. Before local online users tend to be hesitant to trust online shopping since the frauds online are really high. What it does is that it allows online visitors to order any item from the lazada.com.ph website, have it delivered on their homes and pay only right after their ordered package is handed over to them. What’s more amazing about them besides their outstanding promos and discounts is that they offer free delivery availability on your ordered items. So not only you can use “Cash on Delivery” but you can also enjoy free delivery at the same time. With that setup, as an online consumer, you won’t have a hard time trusting their website since you get control over your money up until the item is delivered in your home. A luxury that not all online shopping malls in the Philippines is willing to offer.
